Those drawn to intimate, music-driven storytelling and powerful, personal theater take note of This Is Water, written and performed by a singer-songwriter Rain Perry (pictured), which makes its debut at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival. And in our current cultural moment where conversations about privilege and identity are increasingly polarized or silenced, This Is Water dares to reflect instead of lecture as Rain looks back at her own life and US history with humor, empathy, and musicality.
